Which type of digital voltmeter is fastest?

  • A.the dual slope integrating type
  • B.the linear ramp type
  • C.the potentiometric type
  • D.the successive approximation type

Answer: D

Correct answer: the successive approximation type

Successive approximation resolves one bit per clock period, so an n-bit conversion takes n cycles and completes in microseconds. The integrating types are far slower by design: a dual slope converter integrates for a fixed period, usually a whole number of mains cycles, precisely in order to reject interference - and that averaging is bought with time.
